Tues. It’s colder than hell in Nebraska. I will not leave the house for ANY reason today. Instead, I’ll touch base with a couple of tenants and work on some marketing materials I have for first-time home buyers. But, I don’t have to worry about being bored to death, when it’s pretty easy to sprinkle some color on a lackluster day like today with a little pop culture J
When I need some zone-out time on my computer, I’ll hit up etsy.com for vintage Herman Miller chairs and Dwellstudios.com for more modern home décor.
After using the elliptical for 40 min. and doing some Vinayasa yoga, I’ll watch The New Pornographers video, directed by Tom Scharpling, about 10 times…A.P. Mike deserves an Oscar!!!
Lastly, Ry and I will pretend it’s summer and grill some burgers (indoor grill) and drink a couple of cold lagers while we watch It’s Kind of A Funny Story and marvel at all of its magical indie charm.
Wed. Fuck, Omaha is cold! It’s probably 7-degrees with some kind of double-digit wind chill…and I know it’s supposed to be almost 50 by the weekend, so, I’m trying to keep my head up.
A.M. took a client to Panera Bread and talked shop for about an hour. Then I wandered around the mall for awhile and tried my best not to buy anything (I need to really start curbing my crazy spending sprees). And it was especially difficult when I spotted the most perfect summer dress in the Delia’s window. I could totally picture myself – red hair in a high, loose bun with red lipstick on heading out to sip champagne on a patio in this fabulous red-polka-dot dress…Man, I might dream of this one for awhile.
P.M. took some O.W.C. guys to practice basketball (for Special Olympics) at the YMCA. These really adorable little boys (probably 6 or 7 yrs. old) asked to play with them and it really warmed my heart. Usually the kids and even the adults will ignore these guys when we come. It was really nice to see them enjoy themselves with a little scrimmage game.
I read some more of my new Steve Martin book while I watched them. I like it, so far. He has this way of making you long for his subject matter, whether it is a person, place or thing.
Later P.M. exhaustion! Leftover burgers for dinner and maybe another movie? I’m not sure what we’ll watch while we eat – but I’m really psyched for a new Top Chef later tonight and one of our local eateries (Jones Brothers) is on Cupcake Wars, so I may have to check in on their progress, too. Looks like I’ll be having yummy dreams tonight!
